DEBATE  INDEX 


PITTSBURGH 

CARNEGIE  LIBRARY 

1911 


Preface 

This  index  was  begun  as  a  card  index  to  the  debaters' 
manuals  in  the  Reference  Department  of  this  Library.  The 
increasing  number  of  such  manuals  and  the  frequent  requests 
for  material  on  debates  made  it  seem  desirable  to  combine  in 
one  list  the  indexes  to  all  the  manuals,  thus  bringing  references 
to  all  the  material  on  one  subject  together,  and  saving  the  time 
required  to  consult  the  index  of  each  book.  The  card  index 
has  been  so  useful  here  that  it  has  been  printed,  in  the  hope 
that,  incomplete  as  it  is,  it  may  also  be  useful  elsewhere.  It 
will  be  seen  that  it  does  not  index  single  debates  published 
separately,  but  is  merely  a  combined  index  to  the  books  listed 
at  the  beginning.  Under  each  subject  are  given  the  proposi- 
tion for  debate,  page  references  to  the  manuals,  and  a  note 
indicating  the  material  to  be  found  there,  whether  briefs, 
references,  specimen  debates  or- synopses  of  debates. 

The  Debate  book  of  this  Library,  included  in  the  list  of 
books  indexed,  is  a  loose  leaf  book  containing  briefs  and  refer- 
ences copied  from  various  sources  or  supplementing  lists  to  be 
found  elsewhere.  The  Carnegie  Library  Reference  lists  re- 
ferred to  are  less  complete  manuscript  lists  compiled  in  re- 
sponse to  requests.
